Why: Increasing overhead range of motion, as in for shooting baskets.

Who: Swimmers or anyone sore from bench pressing.

How: Lie on your side with your arm extended and the foam roller resting under your armpit. Press your opposite palm into the floor and lift your hips an inch or two above the floor. Roll your lats back and forth over the foam roller.
